Physiotherapists not allowed to touch patients in 'barmy' NHS initiative

[Northerner]

Physiotherapists have been banned from touching their patients in a new set of 'barmy' NHS plans.
Patients in one part of the country are instead being offered 'advice and guidance' instead of hands-on treatment after health bosses barred medics from using their skills.
Instead of massage or the manipulation of joints and limbs patients in Rushcliffe, Nottinghamshire, are now being directed to websites and handed information leaflets so they can teach themselves exercises at home.
